Hymnal: The Little Minstrel #37 (1867) First Line: Beautiful Zion, built above Lyrics: 1 Beautiful Zion, built above,
Beautiful city, that I love,
Beautiful gates of pearly white,
Beautiful temple--God its light,
He who was slain on Calvary
Opens those pearly gates to me.
2 Beautiful heaven, where all is light,
Beautiful angels clothed in white,
Beautiful strains that never tire,
Beautiful harps through all the choir
There shall I join the chorus sweet,
Worshiping at the Savior's feet.
3 Beautiful crowns on every brow,
Beautiful palms the conquerors show,
Beautiful robes the ransomed wear,
Beautiful all who enter there!
Thither I press with eager feet;
There shall my rest be long and sweet.
4 Beautiful throne for Christ, our King,
Beautiful songs the angels sing,
Beautiful rest, all wanderings cease,
Beautiful home of perfect peace!
There shall my eyes the Savior see;
Haste to this heavenly home with me. Languages: English Tune Title: [Beautiful Zion, built above]
